Does anyone else feel a little narked about this 'price drop'? A reduction such as this would be justified if: - Yaroze were a mass-market machine - Yaroze were competing against another format - Sony were bothered about how many they'd sold - The Playstation is going out of fashion As Sony has often said before, these are not true. I'm a little rattled that, after as little as ten months, the price has dropped so dramatically. Presumably they had to cut back on the manuals...? Can anyone from SCEE say anything to make me feel better about this? James (~mrfrosty).
